Annual Income (thousands)
Figure 24. Percent walking one or more of past
seven days by annual household income.
The 811 respondents were also asked how much time, altogether, they had spent walking
on just the previous day. Over half (56.5%) reported walking for 15 or more minutes (Figure 25).
Altogether, the respondents reported spending an average of 32.6 minutes walking on the previ-ous
day. This number includes those respondents who had not walked at all. If these non-walk-ers
are excluded, the mean time spent walking among those who had walked at all was 50.2
minutes. There were no differences in times for males versus females, but times were highest for
the 18-29 year-old age group (Figure 26).
Persons with
higher household
incomes and
those with
incomes less than
$15,000 per year
were the most
likely to have
walked in the
past week.
